I purchased this car in 1999 with intentions of driving it and restoring it. About 6 months after I purchased it I was idling at a stop light and it stopped running. The timing chain was replaced with new timing gears. The replacement gears are metal. The car has been sitting in storage for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad. It will need to be gone through. I start it and drive it short distances to get fuel or the oil changed or get it washed. It has back registration fees of $639 and will need another $10 for a state inspection plus smog fees to put it on the road in California. Buyer is responsible for payment of these fees if vehicle is to be licensed in California. The Good: Glass is good. Dash is free of cracks. Interior is good and stock, headliner is like new. New parts: brake pads, spark plugs, wires, filters, timing chain & gears were replaced when I got it. Battery is about 6 months old. Master cylinder is new. Center caps: 2 are NOS, 2 look new but came with the car. Hood ornament and 'Thunderbird' lettering for above the glove box are NOS. Windshield wipers are new. Floors are solid. Stock radio. Car has always been in California to the best of my knowledge. There is a Moffett Field parking sticker on the windshield. Window tint is static cling and can be removed in about 5 minutes. The car starts, runs and stops. The headlights stopped working. Hi-beams still work. The rest of the lights work. The car still has most of its original paint. Has the factory ford turbine rims. I drove it 6 miles to get the master cylinder replaced. That said it is a 35 year old car that has been sitting for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad so it will need to be gone through. The Bad: The following are known problems with the car: The carb is original and needs to be rebuilt. It starts and runs but will stall after the engine gets warmed up. Windshield wipers do not work. They worked prior to parking the car. Tires are dry-rotting but still hold air. Small amount of surface rust on the driver's side pillar. Headlights stopped working after the car was parked. Hi-beams and the rest of the lights work. There is play in either the ring gear or the pinion gear- when you put the car into drive or reverse there is some play. It is not the u-joints. There is a hole in the drivers side carpet. Sensor for the brakes stopped functioning- brake light in the dash is on. Vacuum for the headlamp covers has a small leak and the headlights will open after a day or two. New battery 02/02/14. NOS speedometer cable. NOS center caps (2). The other 2 look new. NOS hood ornament. NOS dash emblem. NOS dome light cover. NOS rear bumper pad. New master cylinder 07/22/14. Antenna is in trunk. If you need other pics email me and I will send them. Thanks! |

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
